Vladimir (2026 - 2026)

As her husband faces scrutiny for his past affairs with students, M finds herself drawn to Vladimir, her captivating — and much younger — new colleague.

M resorts to drastic measures to get John's hearing delayed, as cocktails and campus chats deepen her bond with Vlad.

M tries to ingratiate herself with Cynthia by hosting a pool party. Sid comes clean with her parents about what's really going on.

M ponders an ambiguous emoji and plots a meeting with an ulterior motive. Sid's attempt to defuse Lila's testimony quickly goes south.

Facing fallout from John's indiscretions and the cold shoulder from her colleagues, M takes her case directly to the student body.

M finally gets her chance to be alone with Vlad — and finds herself in over her head when she doesn't want their lunch date to end.

A retreat to the countryside gets complicated as M and Vlad contemplate their writing, their marriages and their wildly uncertain futures.
